The CentOS Linux project has unleashed version 6.8 on the world.
In line with the Red Hat code-base it's cut from, CentOS 6.8 gets 300 TB XFS filesystem support, and uses the Linux 2.6.32 kernel.
There's a slew of security changes in the release: libreswan instead of openswan for VPN endpoint functionality; TLSv1.2 support in a number of applications; and SSL v3 is dead.
Hyper-V guest support has been enhanced – kernel crashes are reported to the hypervisor, and guests run as Generation 2.
The announcement is here, but what you really want is the release notes. ®
